Riot pls... Please add "Good job" smart ping (or "Thumbs Up" or "Nice Team", etc.)

I often said "Nice, team" or "Good job" in team chat to encourage my teammate when they do good (solo kill enemy, double kill, stealing dragon / baron, get a tower while split pushing, etc).

It would be nice if this positive reinforcement “action” is included in the game, so other player can easily and quickly reward your action with their “like” / “thumbs up” smart pings.

It would be even better if those pings can be counted and shown in the after match game client (the adobe result screen one), in addition to the current Honor system.

IMO, this action can encourage players to do better in game and push good sportsmanship, thus reducing toxic players.

This can also be used to prove that an encouraging team is more likely to win than teams with toxic players.

But then a jungler fails a gank and feeds your lane opponent and the (toxic) laner spams it in rage.

Yep. Thanks, but I've had enough of DOTA2. Cluttering the chatwheel is not what I want.

Add option to add/remove/edit? Okay, but don't force others into that bs.

You can already mute people who spam pings.

No one would use them anyway.. If anything, Riot should implement a "balanced champ"- ping which both teams can see lel.

Would actually be nice, I sometimes don't say good job simply because too much is happening and by the time I can it feels too late.

This has such a high probability for BM. It would be healthier BM than telling someone to kill themself but it would still be BM.

I play rocket league and I'm not going to lie I spam "What a save!" when ever I score a goal that someone tried to block.

Is it really that hard to press 4 buttons in quick succession? Katarina "gj"

I already have pings muted because I'm sick of people spamming them.

I really don't think the game needs yet another piece of visual/audio clutter.

Riot, please update your outdated and lacking ping system period. :\
